The Vietnam War (2017)

Another person involved hints at Trent and Atticus's involvement on his site here: http://davidcieri.com/#hello-hello saying "THE VIETNAM WAR - KEN BURNS AND LYNN NOVICK: A film I had the great good fortune to score - I feel Immense gratitude in being included among two other exceptional composers (who I have admired for a very long time) and musicians who wrote music for the film. It will premiere on PBS in September 2017.

The playlist discovered on John Crawford's Spotify playlist here: https://play.spotify.com/user/johnkr...sKapD5tqAmCI0J lists the artists as TR / AR along with track names and lengths. The album is titled Vietnam WIP 2-5-16. Being dated back in February makes sense seeing as the series will be a "10 part, 18 hour documentary series." Who knows what stage it's in now.

I had the honor & pleasure of seeing Mr. Burns speak in Aspen over the summer to a very small crowd of maybe 100-ish people. He was doing a special presentation that related to the election, and so he showed clips from his various docs that had to do with the elections of the given era. Ken is fiercely intelligent and well spoken. I highly recommend looking up his Stanford Commencement speech if you haven't seen it.

After the presentation, he did a Q&A. I so, so wish I knew he was a fan of Trent & Atticus's work, otherwise I would've asked him about that. Then again, how could I have known? Instead, I asked what it was like to be such a direct influence for Christopher Nolan and Interstellar. He was very gracious. While I asked my question, he leaned forward, listening intently, and made sustained eye contact. When answering, he spoke directly to me – and somewhere in his answer he mentioned the Vietnam doc (and no joke, probably 8 or 9 other films that are simultaneously in the works).

I also spoke to him very briefly at the small reception that followed. He's a deeply kind, deeply respectful man. It was an honor. I admire him even more now knowing that he sought out Trent & Atticus! Amazing!! I absolutely cannot wait for the full Vietnam doc.

“The Vietnam War,” which premieres in September on PBS, will ultimately feature more than two cumulative hours of original music from Mr. Reznor and Mr. Ross, along with reworked bits from Nine Inch Nails songs and their scores for “The Social Network” and “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.”

Well shit, I have no idea what to expect from this one! could be very interesting mix of music to fit all the themes involved with a documentary of this caliber. In terms of war, machinery, bombing and creating sounds for fear and chaos...I imagine sounds from Broken or Tetsuo. But creating sounds for calm scary surreal moments, sounds from Social Network/TGWTDT would fit super well.

So much new NIN/Reznor/Ross content coming out! it's getting hard to sit, enjoy, and absorb everything! Have barely had a chance to listen to all the new DE re-releases, and NTAE!

So much going on these days it's getting crazy man!

I hope the "reworked" bits from NIN songs don't wholly count as one of the NIN "works" TR promised in 2017. But, believe me, I am excited for this series.

Making the decision to post/repost these screenshots of my Spotify account was kinda shitty and didn't go unnoticed.

You know this board have survived and unlocked most of the secrets of YZ ARG? Ever since then, anything anyone from NIN camp ever posts anywhere gets reposted here and over analyzed for hints.
ETS is a hell of an investigation team, we should film our own version of CSI.

All these investigations, leaks, exclusive informations and stuff is a big part of why this community follow and like to follow every TR's work.
At the end it gives us "reasons to buy", most of this shits stay between hardcore fans that will give all the money they can to TR and his team... team that you joined... Do not bite "the hand that feeds" my friend.

Probably going to buy the soundtrack (assuming it's sold), but avoid watching the documentary. It's just....I can't handle this kind of depression right now. The world's in bad enough shape as it is; I don't have the strength or desire to sit through hours and hours of heartbreak.
